Default TruGlo TFO

I have read some reviews on these sights and think I want them. The reviews to the TRITIUM is not as bright as straight Tritium do to the FO. None of the reviews speak to the FO. If anyone has these how bright is the FO. the FO is more important to me then the Tritium but if it is as bright I figured having the night site would be good to have.
Thanks

PS If they are not as bright who makes the brightest and best FO

I have a set on my Springfield XD and love them! They are very bright and visible under all light conditions. They are much brighter than the factory tritium sights from Springfield.

I've got a set on my XDm, unreal how nicely they transition through lighting changes. Near/under bright light source and the FO is glowing brillliantly. Away from light in a shadowed area, but with a brightly lit target gets tougher to see. Basically just makes it a matte color filled notch and post. Night sights glow as expected.

I have a green front/yellow rears setup and I love it. If you want any pics of pistol with them installed, I can take a few in varrying levels/directions of light. Let me know.

I'm actually thinking of puting these in my next Glock this winter.

I have a set for each of my 2 Glocks. I love them. The 2nd set was bought used (for cheap) and just died a few months ago. They are bright, being green, they are good against both dark and light targets during the day. The yellow sights don't give you as good of a contrast. Compared the Mepro's on the Kimber, which helps none during the day, these are the best. If I had to do it over again, I'd always buy new. They suppose to last 12 years or so.

How do they compare to just FO in dim light like a indoor range

FO does not have Tritium and will NOT glow in the dark. Spend the extra $, you will not regret it.
